Damso | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

The Belgian rapper / songwriter known as Damso recently had 2 nights sold out at Laval’s Place Bell. 8000+ fans lined the streets outside the arena waiting to see the start on stage.

The hugely popular Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin made his way to Laval’s Place Bell and played in front of a packed house.

Our restrictions were… Continue reading J Balvin | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

Billie Eilish | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

I think the word phenom can be used when talking about Billie Eilish and her rise to stardom. I first caught Billie Eilish last year headlining the small stage at Osheaga. Wearing a cast (she broke her foot the night before at Lollapalooza), she still had so much energy and attitude on stage even though… Continue reading Billie Eilish | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

Why Don’t We | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

It seems that every generation has it’s boy band that packs in the concert venue, makes the teenage girls scream, and dance around all choreographed. From The Jackson 5, NKOTB, Backstreet Boys and more recently, One Direction. We haven’t had a new boy band take the stage in years, it was fun to see that… Continue reading Why Don’t We | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

Beck | Place Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

He doesn’t often come to Montreal, but when he does, Beck knows how to bring the groove (well, technically he was in Laval, but close enough). How do you define Beck? Singer, songwriter, sometimes producer, once rapper, rocker, dude who plays every instrument? Either way, the guy is talented and what I personally love about… Continue reading Beck | Place Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

Styx | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

There is old school rock, and then there is Styx.  The legendary rock band, which originally got together back in 1972, has gone through some lineup changes over the years, mostly noticeably with new singer Lawrence Gowan.  Some fans believe that Styx songs should only be sung by ex-singer Dennis De Young, others like me,… Continue reading Styx | Place Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

A Perfect Circle | Place Bell | Montreal Photographer

In what is being called the rock concert of the year, “supergroup” A Perfect Circle was at Laval’s Place Bell a few nights ago.  Why a supergroup?  The singer is Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan.  The band once had rock powerhouses from various other groups such as Primus (Tim Alexander), Marilyn Manson (Twiggy) and Pixies (Paz).  The… Continue reading A Perfect Circle | Place Bell | Montreal Photographer
